The Muslim Hands Green Ribbon Week is an annual initiative to increase awareness about the plight of innocent children of war and to raise funds to help suffering children all over the world.
From helping landmine victims in Afghanistan to providing sports equipment for school children in West Africa, Green Ribbon Week will help better the lives of thousands of children worldwide.
Each year thousands of shops and businesses sell Muslim Hands Green Ribbons, and numerous fundraising events take place in schools, mosques and places of work up and down the country.
Green Ribbon Week 2009: What's Coming Up
Following the successful year of Green Ribbon Week in 2008 we hope to make this year's event even bigger and better, and in doing so to help even more children affected by war.
Now is the time to start thinking of how you can help us. Whether it's placing a box of ribbons in your shop or business, holding a Green Ribbon event at your school, mosque or workplace, or doing something sponsored, get your thinking cap on to help innocent children of war!
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Why not do something sponsored like a walk, bike ride or even parachute jump? We'll help and provide opportunities, just register below.
- If you're a teacher or parent ask your school if they'd like to have a non-uniform day, cake sale or other Green Ribbon Week event. Schools plan well in advance so ask early!
- Spread the word and help raise money with a poster or box in your shop or business. Register now so we can contact you in time. It's easy and hassle free.
- Get together with friends and family to plan how you can support Green Ribbon Week and help support innocent children of war.

Green Ribbon Week 2008
A big thank you to everyone who supported or got involved with GRW 2008!
People young and old, north and south, all did their bit to raise funds for children of war. Thousands more showed their support by wearing a Green Ribbon, which were on sale at over 1,000 outlets across the UK.
If you've yet to send in money from your Green Ribbon Box or fundraising event please do so as soon as possible. Projects funded by Green Ribbon Week are already well underway so don't delay.
Some of the projects helping children of war currently being funded by Green Ribbon Week:
- Summer camp for children in Kashmir.
- Support and assistance for child amputees in Afghanistan.
- Recreation provision for Palestinian youngsters.
Updates and feedback will be posted when we receive them.
- Emergency Relief
The world we live in is full of inequality. When conflict or natural disasters occur, countries that are not economically developed are usually unable to cope with and recover from destruction.
